[Long-planned scheme + secret identities revealed + both leads devoted only to each other + exclusive love from the start + both reborn]
[A playful, easily flustered heroine vs. an unhinged hero who’s only so-so in bed]
By the time Lanzhu came of age, her poison skills had reached their peak. As an adult, she mastered the art of seduction, becoming the most bewitching blade in the Tongque Sect.
Yet she died amid the upheaval that destroyed Nanjiang.
After her death, the granny at the Bridge of Forgetfulness claimed she had killed all the people of Nanjiang and could only go to hell!
How could that be?
She returned to the mortal world at once, swearing to stop Nanjiang from falling!
When she awoke, she found herself stripped naked and presented to the emperor as a gift.
Wasn’t he the damned emperor who would later order an invasion of Nanjiang?
So she searched for the truth in the palace while trying to seduce him.
Maybe she could whisper a few words in his ear and sway him.
But gradually, Lanzhu realized that
she might not need to flirt with him at all. The emperor was the one throwing himself at her.
Later, Lanzhu plunged a poisoned hairpin into the unhinged emperor’s heart.
Only after she was imprisoned did she realize it had all been a long-planned seduction.
Later still, the unhinged emperor dismissed his entire harem and offered her his kingdom as a bride price, only to be firmly turned away.
“You bit me too hard last night. I’m not saying yes!”
